| Very nice! It's tough to balance this full range of light. You pulled it off well. Very minor(probably not even worth noting) but I would like to have seen the composition slightly more heavy to the sky, i.e. slightly more sky less water. As cropped it's seems almost too centered for me. Especially with the beams of ligh reaching upward more sky would have been interesting to see. |

| You've processed this very well and managed to avoid that horrid HDR look that puts me off all HDR shots in general! Great job. |

I hate these shots - where you have a dark corner, but can't get rid of it because a main point of interest is also on that side of the shot. Your dark upper left corner distracts from the shot, taking away the impact it would otherwise have. Nothing you can do about it (that I know of).
This is a great shot - nice colors in the water, beautiful sky on the right side. The lights on land are a bit blown out (especially the white / yellow). I can almost hear the water lapping at the shore.

| Honestly, I like everything about this photo. The colors, the sheen to the water, the range light to dark in the sky, and I think the crop is perfect...makes it look like a panoramic shot. Beautiful! |

| Really nice location (also in my backyard), I tried this a few months ago but didn't have as good of a result...I agree (like I'm so expert...right...not!) that maybe a longer exposure would have smoothed out the water and sharpened the buildings. But a good HDR...as I have often said...yours isn't pushed to much...I don't like the HDR when it doesn't look realistic enough...enhanced is one thing... |

Most of the time I have very little in the way of good results when doing night shots in Photomatix. It is very hard, I have found, to do low light images, because any darkness that is present will be magnified. I am still new to the whole HDR thing though, so I am still learning. Most of the other stuff I am working on needs to be reshot with exposures well over 30 seconds.
This shot was taken just after the sun had set, so there was still some (but really not much at all) ambient light. The exposure times were all between 10 and 30 seconds. |

| Very nice. To me it looks like the buildings in the background could be sharper, they appear out of focus to me. Nice setting though, and I really like Epcot too! |

| That's cool--you picked up the rays of light from the center building. |
